Russian President Vladimir Putin is hosting an important summit with over 20 world leaders, trying to persuade them to abandon the usd.
De-dollarization is one of Putin's top priorities, as using local currency for trade means Russia, heavily sanctioned by the West, will not be subject to the USD-dominated global financial order.
However, breaking free from the usd is not easy. Organizers of the BRICS summit recommend foreign participants to bring cash, especially usd and euros, to attend the summit in the Russian city of Kazan.
